Our take

Gateway Parks Idaho Falls is a dedicated tubing venue on the south side of the city, next to Ryder Park. It runs in partnership with Kelly Canyon Ski Resort and opened for the 2023-24 season, so it is one of the newer hills in the region.

The build is compact but engineered for speed. A 43-foot hill carries three independent lanes, and two magic carpets of 210 feet each bring riders back up. A giant berm feature is part of the design, and the record cites speeds up to 24 mph. The operation employs roughly 60 to 70 seasonal staff.

What we cannot tell you is the schedule. Our record has no hours, prices, minimum age or height, or reservation policy, and the only site listed is a Facebook page. Treat those as unknown and check the page before you drive, especially for night sessions, which are not confirmed.

Because the hill sits inside a city park instead of on a ski mountain, it suits a short local outing more than a full resort day. If you want a bigger setting, Grand Targhee Resort is about 60 miles away in a straight line.
